NOT Just Another Mom

Quilled spiral roses A very special co-worker of mine will be moving forward in her life next year, so I wanted to make a special card for her.  I used heavy scrapbook paper for the card itself (which is what I've used for all my other cards) and then I used spiral paper roses on the front and the side of the inside.  The roses are made from thin scrapbook paper with varied pink designs. I cut the front of the card so that the right inside of the card peeks out.  I then used 1/8 width quilling paper for the border around the words, the leaves, and the vines.

Quilled ballet shoe with quilled flowers Since being home with my son who is sick, I took a few minutes to put together the card for the dance studio.    I used 1/8th width quilling paper for the pointe shoe, rose, leaves, borders, and flower.  The words I just printed out using Microsoft Works and for the polka dot paper, I used some scrapbook paper and scalloped edge scissors. Dancer Teacher poem on quilled card     On the inside of the card, I used a poem called "Eyes Upon A Dance Teacher" from this website http://www.angelfire.com/oh2/chezsarah/bpoems.html  .  It is a site that has a lot of dance teacher poems.  I changed it by taking out the reference to a "little girl" to make it less "little girl" since my daughter has gotten older.  There are some great poems on this site.

I wanted to try making a special card for my sons teacher for teacher appreciation week and this is what I came up with ...  Front of card... Inside of card...
